DoorDash adds five new safety features for delivery workers

DoorDash shared an update on how it is adding new safety features for delivery workers. The five new features include SafeDash Check-In, which automatically checks in with the Dasher if a delivery is taking longer than expected; Real-Time Safety Alerts; SafeChat, which detects inappropriate or offensive language in a chat on its app and issues a warning to those who send such messages; Safety Reporting; and Porch Lights Reminders, which send notifications to customers asking them to turn their porch or house lights on as a Dasher is approaching. "When we launched SafeDash a year ago, it was a giant step forward in becoming the platform most trusted by individuals looking for app-based work," said Rajat Shroff, Vice President of Product at DoorDash. "As we continue to dream big in developing the best earnings platform for supplemental income, we’re excited to roll out our largest safety product update ever, giving Dashers greater peace of mind while on the road."
